General Dual 8 Tire Specially Built For Mileage And Safety "Quick - stopping safety, long mileage, extra strength, blowout protection, easy riding comfort, smart style . . . that’s what you get when you buy the General Dual *• All the features you want you can expect from this, America’s top-quality tire. At its surprisingly low price, the Dual 8 is the tire value smash hit of the year/* the Neuwirth brothers, owners and op erators of the B. & N. Tire com pany at 520 North Third street, said last week. "Come in! Whether you need tires for your present car or are getting a new car, let us show you how easy it is to equip It _ with Dual 8’s. ‘At this time of the year when Spring rains make driving extra hazardous, it is necessary that we be more careful than ever. It is almost compulsory that our cars be in perfect condition for utmost safety. One of the most Important factors is having the propefr tread tires. The convention button and rib treads squeeze together and close up when »the brakes are ap plied. They become practically as smooth as a worn-out tire at the very moment when the need for traction is greatest. The harder you apply the brakes ... the less traction. “With General’s Dual 8’s you get i tire with a squeeze-tread. When you apply the brakes the flexible ribbons of rubber wrinkle, clean a dry track, grip the road for a quicker, straight stop, with out skid, swerve or tallspin. The harder you apply the brakes the more it wrinkles and the more traction you have, right when you need it most! "General’s Dual 8 is built for easy riding comfort. The whole tire is softer. The patented low pres sure carcass plus the flexible tread gives you a tire that is built in side and out for more restful rid III®. General's Dual 8 Is built for long er wear. Rubber wears off a tire because of friction. The mdre spots, knobs and broken up designs the faster the wear. When General’s squeegee-tread is running free, the flexible ribbons of rubber are straight . . . that means smooth, easy, silent rolling, slow, uniform tread wear, longer mileage! Today, more than ever, General is Amer ica’s big mileage tire. "General’s Dual 8 is built for out standing strength and blowout re sistance. Tire engineers test tires for bursting 1/ Inflating them with air „ntil they give way. General’s have a bursting resistance of many times normal air pressure. This extra strength comes from top quality in every ounce . . . exclu sive carcass design . . . and is the result of years of leadership in tire safety engineering For your fast stepping modern car you need this extra speed. "General’s Dual 8 is built for new safety on curves. If you’ve been afraid rounding curves, you'll have a new feeling of security with squeegee-tread Generals. The flex ible ribbons hold you safely and without the usual whine.’’ The B. & N. Tire company will make you a liberal allowance for the equipment tires that come on your new car. For the lowest new car change-over price in Gerieral’s his tory you can have all of General's quick-stopping safety, big mileage and low pressure comfort right from the start. Get them on your present car. Liberal allowance will be made for the unused tire mile age on your present car and will be applied as part payment on new General Dual 8’s. There’s no need to pay cash. Your old tires may cover the down payment. Conven ient credit terms can be arranged for all. Call by the B. & N.

Should there be any particular subject you would like published, call the plant at 3080 and they will be glad to fill your request, if possible. ‘‘Suit the action to the word, and the word to the action; with this special observance, that you o’erstep not the Mod esty of nature.” — Shakespeare MODESTY (Tablet) j The first of all virtues, wrote AI- ' ison, is innocence; the next is nodesty. If we banish modesty rom the world, she carries with ter half the virtue that is in it. Vnd modesty, once banished—said Publius Syrus — never returns to 'avour. Critics of our age, and par icularly of our youth, are prone :o deplore the wane of modesty. Perhaps its crimson glow which fives new luster to the charm of r’outh is indeed rare in this day of sophistication and frankness, for, is Burke maintained, modesty does tot long survive innocence. But if :he grace and blush of innocent nodesty has gone, have we not in it* place the sort of modesty that Shakespeare called the beacon of lhe wise? In the brilliant acheve ments of modern youth, in their teats of mind and body, are we not constantly reminded of Sir Wil liam Gilbert’s lines; Wherever val or true is found, true modesty will there abound? And when, in the world’s history, has arrogance—the antithesis of modesty—ever been so utterly despised as it is today? Goldsmith held that modesty sel dom resides in a breast that is not enriched with nobler virtues; and one of the French philosophers tells us that modesty is the chas tity of merit, the virtue of noble souls. Surely, then, we can main tain faith in an age that deplores vanity, conceit, egotism and arro gance—an age, to borrow words Hum '-lutein, m wmcn moaest ex pression is a beautiful setting to the diamond of talent and genius? Hafiz likened modesty to the sweet song bird which no open-cage door can tempt to flight and In the glor ious achievements of the Lone Eagle—the immortal We—mankind has learned that modern youth, de spite the plaints of cynics and pes simists, agrees with Lowell in be lieving that the wisest man can ask no more of Pate than to be simple, modest, manly and true. It was the mighty Napoleon who once observed that the greatest ornament of an illustrious life is modesty and humility. Study the personalities of the men and wom en who are contributing the most to modern civilization, and you will find a modest doubt concerning their achievements. And this mod esty, which is a national trait, finds expression in the essential sim plicity of the memorials erected in our cemeteries today. Display in the form of elaboration and sheer bulk of stone are relics of yester day. More and more we find the public taste turning to the quiet dignity, the modest scale, the refin ed individuality of monuments like the subject here describes.” There are so many different sub jects, so very many themes we can follow in getting the appropri ate type of memorial to mark the resting place of someone who was near and dear to us. The Carolina Cut Stone company located at 718 MacRae street,, telephone 3080, will be more than willing to go over that problem of yours with you. You are sure to find satisfaction and consolation in that which is most appropriate.
